Coin Wrapper Instructions

Has Dave Kinsey ever had to roll pennies? Yes! And that's why he's provided a master for making your own coin wrappers. (See next page.) Print, then, photocopy the two-to- a-page coin wrappers onto 8½" paper. Use coloured paper in the team colours to track how much each team brings in. Distribute the wrappers to all of the clubbers and leaders. Encourage them to roll their pennies before bringing them to club—50 to a roll. The wrappers provide a reminder of this year's project, and will make your job easier.

YOUR PENNIES MAKE SENSE

The annual Penny Project can be an enjoyable way for you and your clubbers to give to missions. We try to choose projects that Awana Clubbers can relate to. But remember, it’s strictly voluntary. No one ever has to participate.

Here’s some ideas gleaned from other Awana Missionaries to make your Penny Project interesting and fun for everyone.

· Penny-a-Pound Night – Everyone (including leaders) brings a penny for each pound they weigh.

· Gallon Jug – See which team or club can be the first to fill a gallon jug.

· Circle of Pennies – Each week during the penny drive see which team can lay their pennies farthest around the Game Circle.

· Giant Scale – The goal is to match the weight of the Commander. At the end of the penny drive, put all the pennies in buckets or sacks, then put them on one end of the scale—a sturdy, balanced 2x6 board. The Commander stands on the other end. If the Commander is left up in the air, the pennies weigh more than the Commander, who must pay a penalty.

· Days/ Nights – Clubbers bring dimes/nickels instead of pennies. Some have also suggested for leaders, or a quest for clubbers.

· Club vs. Club Competition – Any of the above ideas can be combined with club vs. club competition. Other alternatives include team vs. team, clubbers vs. leaders, Awana Clubs vs. the church congregation, etc.

TRY THE PRINGLES™ CAN APPROACH

Purchase enough small cans of Pringles™ to give one to every clubber. Cut a slot in the plastic lid, and label the can “Pennies for Our Awana Missionary.” A printable label (two to a page) is available on the web at http://www3.sympatico.ca/dave.kinsey/chipscanwrapper.pdf The deal is that if they take a full can of Pringles™, they can eat the snack. But when the chips are gone—it shouldn’t take long—they are to fill the can with pennies and bring it back to club. A can full of pennies--about $5 worth--earns them another can of Pringles™ to eat and fill up with more pennies. Collect pennies for the four weeks of the penny drive. The cost of the Pringles™ can be deducted from the total collected, or can be donated by the club or church.
